- Comment on TikTok’s Algorithm to Be Secured by Oracle in Trump-Backed Deal 21 hours ago:
yeah which is sad really, the mainstream has unfortunately given up about it. The few of us who do are screaming into a void, it would take something apocalyptic. Thought the cambridge analytical thing and the election would make people see but money talks i guess.
- Comment on TikTok’s Algorithm to Be Secured by Oracle in Trump-Backed Deal 22 hours ago:
Oracle will operate in partnership with the US government on everything from algorithm retraining to application development and source code review, the White House official said. It wasn’t immediately clear what role the government might have in oversight of the app, its algorithm and user data.
every article just glosses over the fact a major platform that people use to get/share information (also a lot of collected data) is about to be controlled by the US government and a few of the president’s friends. No one is talking about how terrible this will be its just "china bad’.

- Comment on Has a person ever pretended to be a major Republican did a podcast interviews and everythinng else? While raking in a butt load of money? The turn around and be like HA MF's I am a liberal? 1 week ago:
there was this black girl who pretended to be MAGA. She went on twitter saying how her family kicked her out because of it so she decided to “speak her truth”. She managed to get sympathy from trump supporters and got them to donate to her go fund me. Only got $200 out of it and she returned the donations after admitted she just made it up for fun lmao
In an interview with New York magazine, Quran said she simply decided to “capitalize” off of all of the recent efforts by Republicans to shed the reputation that they’re “mostly racist.”
“A lot of Republicans have this idea that everyone thinks Republicans are mostly racist and they’re really desperate to get that stigma off of them,” she said. “I just felt like capitalizing on that.”
here’s a buzzfeed article on it buzzfeednews.com/…/college-student-faked-maga-tru…
there’s also a high chance some MAGA influencers are just grifters anyway
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 1 week ago:
I personally dont think you need to switch to a dumb phone to get those benefits, smartphones themselves arent what’s causing issues its what you’re using. You want less distraction just stop using those apps or turn off push notifications.

- Comment on Pollsters Are questioning AI Instead of Real People 4 weeks ago:
a white paper about the topic for the survey platform Verasight, data journalist G. Elliott Morris found, when comparing 1,500 “synthetic” survey respondents and 1,500 real people, that large language models (LLMs) were overall very bad at reflecting the views of actual human respondents
Yeah no shit. Why even do this isn’t the point of a survey to get the opinions of an actual person and how they’re being affected?? Why would a language model stringing word together be comparable.
- Comment on EnteAuth (and a bunch of other FOSS) take Microsoft's "free" money 5 weeks ago:
I’ve never heard of the Halloween files I just looked it up and that’s just so crazy. I don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors in their c-suite but I wouldn’t be surprised if this fund is a way to get their hands into open source projects. Like you said there’s no explicit proof so it’s best to be be cautious.
- Comment on EnteAuth (and a bunch of other FOSS) take Microsoft's "free" money 5 weeks ago:
yes exactly, my problem is not the money. These giant tech firms have use free projects all the time without any support at all. My problem is that I do not trust Microsoft at all.
